Donald Trump’s sweeping claims of historic “Middle East peace” collide with a far older geopolitical reality: the region has been the crossroads of empire, trade, and faith for thousands of years. From the ancient Levant controlling access to the world’s richest civilizations to today’s competing trade corridors linking China, Europe, and Russia, the Middle East remains the strategic hinge of global commerce. Add to this East Asia’s dependence on Middle Eastern oil and the region’s religious centrality to Christianity, Judaism, and Islam—each with powerful eschatological narratives—and the result is a combustible mix of economics, energy, and ideology. These structural forces, not rhetoric, explain why the Middle East will remain a flashpoint.

On Taiwan, alarmist predictions of imminent invasion overlook China’s broader strategic calculus. Surrounded by long-term rivals such as Japan, India, and Russia, and dependent on global trade for food, energy, and prosperity, Beijing has strong incentives to preserve stability rather than ignite a war that could devastate its coastal industrial base. From a game-theory perspective, the United States functions not only as a competitor but also as a balancing force in East Asia’s crowded security environment. Economic leverage and status quo management are far less risky than military escalation.

Meanwhile, the war in Ukraine exposes deep strain within NATO. Russia’s grinding campaign, Western financial fatigue, and mounting political dissent in Europe suggest a protracted conflict shaped by sunk costs as much as strategy. With U.S. debt soaring and Washington pressing allies to shoulder more of the burden, the alliance faces hard questions about sustainability and purpose.

Across Ukraine and the Middle East, the pattern is clear: trade routes, energy flows, and civilizational narratives continue to drive global instability. The real test for the coming decade is whether major powers can resist escalation and prioritize long-term economic stability over short-term geopolitical theater.
